That’s a huge oversimplification. Mnesia is distributed but that’s about it. There’s so much more to sql than selecting data. Transactions, user defined functions, stored procedures, custom types…

None of what you detail though is included in what the GP describes as a modern database.

I’m not trying to nitpick but what GP describes aligns to what Mnesia provides.

The GP mentioned CockroachDB though. There’s a lot of implicit functionality behind that name. Even just behind mentioning Postgres.

The distributed part of modern sql is fairly recent.
